DIY X-Bench Upgrade

  1. Looks really great! I must ask, is that table from Overstock? I’ve been contemplating purchasing it. How is the quality?

      Thanks Amanda. It’s actually a Parson console from West Elm. I’ve never used the overstock look a like for a client or my own personal use.

  2. What a great bright addition to a basement! I can’t wait to see the rest of the space. And I love the color you used on the walls.

  3. Love it! Where is the mirror from?

  13. What a beautiful transformation! I love the white anchoring the space with a splash of color on the “X” benches. Those seem like an easy DIY project for such a beautiful look!

    Just in case you see this. Any chance you have a fresh link for your x bench? The link is no good (and its so old it may not exist at all anymore, but I thought Id try)

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
